Ha ha! I'm sitting here laughing at these posts!!
I've been wanting to do an update but my laptop broke on Tuesday....so i had to find the time (took until today) to get a new laptop! I got a Chromebook and so far i can't stand it but maybe it'll get better...i don't like change and i want to try to get my other laptop working again.

Anyways...
I LOVE my job at TSC!!! I worked Wed, Thurs and today. I have the weekend off. All of my coworkers are such nice people and I feel so lucky to be working in such a great place
The first 2 days were pretty much spent watching videos, taking tests and filling out paperwork.
Today i got to learn how to drive/use the forklift! Spent a few hours learning where everything is in the other half of the store that i'm not familiar with....which is the non-animal related half.
The only downside...my feet are killing me. Those concrete floors do a number on your feet/ankles. I bought some of those 'work' insoles that are made for working on hard floors. Sure hope they help!

Rabbit update
I'm still trying to get my other does to breed...mainly Skyler but she's convinced she needs a break
I put Luna and Emma's kits together this morning since they are close in age and i figured they could show eachother how to eat pellets and drink water. There are 6 kits all together and so far they're all getting along just fine.
I think Emma's kits are some of the ugliest kits i've ever seen! There are no words so i will try to get some pictures posted tomorrow. You gotta see it to believe it ha ha! I still love them but boy are they weird looking

Tomorrow's projects are putting new tread on the front porch steps, cleaning rabbit cages/trays, getting another bale of hay and whatever else i can think of that needs to be done before the day ends!

Hope everyone has a great night! Stay warm

Glad things are going well for ya!!.....and having many yrs in "warehousing", ya only get better by Doing...just like most things in "life"....I have driven many different kinds and types of lifts....fore thought can be very beneficial....and if ya have to "stop" and seek assistance, do so...better Safe than sorry....you'll have it "down" before too long and ya will be "wheelin" around like a pro!!....

Good advice @CntryBoy777
Amber, I love that you have great co-workers. They can make or break a work experience.

so happy you love your job....now, learn to love a back support and wear it when lifting, and get sturdy comfortable footwear. ...you will thank yourself later in life if you take care of yourself now .

I don't know what criteria TSC uses to hire people but we have friends at both of the stores we frequent and they are super good people and typical country types that will go out of their way to help do about anything.

 

[AmberLops]

Great advice everyone, thank you!!!
@B&B Happy goats i have tons of braces and will gladly use them! I bought those work insoles and hope they make a difference too.

@Mike CHS I think TSC attracts a certain type of people. A good job, nice people, not to mention being able to go to work in blue jeans and boots...what could be better?

Just catching up -- glad you got the new job. Yep, my TSC is friendly, too. I frequent 2 because one is near home & one is near where I have work each week. Always helpful people, although some have no animal background, LOL.

Sure understand about the laptop -- changes! Grrr. not all are good, well "acceptable" anyway.
